The magazine is edited by Fire Media Group, part of Cuba Business Development Group, Inc (CBDG), a social and cultural information about the island Cuban-chaired by Hugo Cancio, U.S. resident.

Cancio said the magazine “takes more than a year of circulation and approval of an office in Havana consolidate the work of the Editorial and enable the development of new lines of work” as the note referred.

The publishing group “On Cuba” also moved to make available to the American public a new quarterly magazine in English, edited, directed and designed by leading specialists of Cuban visual arts.
